Every year, thousands of young adults face the amazing experience of freshman year. However, the transition from senior royalty to "fresh meat" can be a little intimidating. As your college career progresses, you make friends that could possibly be the ones who save you when you need it or be right along with you when you get into trouble. When things get a little rough, you can always take some needed "me" time.
Give a helping hand and enjoy the little things.
Being a freshman, things can be tough. Going from having friends in all your classes to having possibly one or two can be different and, at times, discouraging. When you see someone who needs help or cheering up, spend the extra minute or two to help them out. That could help start a friendship you never expected.
People really don't care if you go to that party.
Although college might be the best party years of your life, it isn't the end of the world if you don't go. Spend the night watching Netflix and eat all the popcorn you want. Have a girls night in where you eat ice cream and talk about all the guys you haven't gotten the courage to talk to yet. Going to the party might be fun for the night, but waking up tired and irritable isn't fun for anyone.
Take a day for yourself and eat as much pizza as possible.
During exams time, when you think that your world is crashing around you, take the day to relax. College is not only stressful — it's also very hard. It's OK to have what we call a "cheat day." Order that pizza and eat all you want.
